Max Verstappen he has no intention of letting go, despite having already won the title in Suzuka. The Dutchman has in fact conquered the pole position number 19 of his career at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. In Mexico Super Max was the only one to drop below 1:18 – 1: 17.775 – trimming three tenths to the two Mercedes of George Russell (+0.304) and Lewis Hamilton (+0.309).
Fourth place for the home idol Sergio Perez, further behind the Ferraris: the Reds have increased the load, preferring the race to the qualification, but perhaps it was reasonable to expect something more than the fifth place of Carlos Sainz and the seventh place of Charles Leclerc. The gaps accused by the two Ferrari drivers were important: half a second for the Spaniard (+0.576), almost eight tenths for the Monegasque (+0.780), preceded by a great Valtteri Bottas. In the top-10 also Norris, Alonso and Ocon.
